Spain is a risk country in the European context. The combination of a high natural danger, especially due to atmospheric events, and an intense occupation of geographical space in large areas of its territory, generate a high level of risk that requires multiple actions for its mitigation. In addition to this, there is the current complex climate context that favors the frequent development of extreme meteorological events, due to the alteration that atmospheric warming causes in general circulation. Risk reduction requires a set of actions that seek to minimize the impact of natural hazards on the territories. It is necessary to activate effective measures for prevention and adaptation, which would involve the establishment of a meteorological warning system in the initial phases of extreme episodes, the effective management of emergencies and adaptation actions with, in some cases, the development of structural measures and, in others, by the rational planning of land uses to reduce exposure and vulnerability to extreme natural events. Education on climate change and risks is, finally, essential to promote attitudes and good citizen practices regarding climate change and its associated extremes. This work reviews the state of the art of the most notable natural risks (floods, droughts, storms, forest fires), as well as the prevention and adaptation actions carried out in Spain in recent years, pointing out the need to develop comprehensive measures that incorporate the effects of climate change.
